ADeC is changing.

From the 1st April our core arts development funding from East Cambridgeshire District Council ends. This means that in the short to medium term at least our focus will be on the development of our venue based activity including Ely Cinema and The Babylon Gallery, to which we are firmly committed, and the delivery of high quality arts based projects.

Some of our activities, which form a part of our current funding agreement with East Cambridgeshire DC, including our small grants scheme and the free advice and guidance service for groups and individuals wanting to develop arts activities in East Cambridgeshire, will come be coming to an end.

In the light of this change we are restructuring the organisation, with our current Director, Jane Wilson, leaving ADeC in mid-April. Going forward we will have two Co-Directors, who will share the leadership role. They will be Nathan Jones who will be leading on projects and training and Caroline Cawley, who will take operational responsibility for our venue based activity. Both existing members of staff, they are highly committed to the arts in Ely and beyond, and are looking forward to the future.

Ely City Council has accepted responsibility for any future grant funding to Arts Development in East Cambridgeshire (ADeC), and we very much looking forward to working them in the future.
